I can't rename my .dll files in my WINDOWS/System folder. Help?

I’m trying to rename my files Rsabase.dll and Rsaenh.dll to Rsabase.old and Rsaenh.old, but I keep getting an error message that tells me that access is denied. I use Windows 98.

Quick answer: The files are in use. Reboot into safe mode and try, or reboot into DOS and do it.

Most likely the reason that access is denied is that they are currently in use by some program that is running. Boot up in Safe Mode and you should probably be able to rename them.

I admit my lack of computer skill. But is renaming a dynamic link library really a good idea? what will happen when a program makes a call to it, and it is not there? :confused:
